Washington heads into a matchup with Las Vegas as winners of three consecutive home games. Thursday's game is the third meeting this season between the two teams.

Behind another strong Sabrina Ionescu performance, the shorthanded New York Liberty fought their way back into the win column against the Las Vegas Aces.

The New York Liberty held onto their precarious slot as a top-four team with an 87-78 victory at Barclays Center on Tuesday, while their rival Las Vegas Aces dropped below .500, on the cusp of missing the postseason.

The Aces’ struggles center more on inconsistency, although reigning MVP A’ja Wilson did miss some time with a concussion. However, Las Vegas has some legitimate issues. The Liberty are a five-point home favorite Tuesday with a total of 165.5 points.

The Aces and Liberty sit atop league standings at the free throw line, with the Aces netting a league-best 84.4% from the charity stripe, while the Liberty are tallying a second-best 82.3%.
